I have a memory foam Texas King. It only remembers the Alamo.

I’ve got a stack of old 14.4 modems I’ll sell them if they’ll grift on that for a bit.

I’m happy sometimes. But only if I’m too drunk to remember our state government but sober enough to remember all the delicious barbecue and Tex Mex around me.

I once paid a bar tab with my guitar skills. Does that count?

The people buying these aren’t the workers being forced into meetings. They’re the idiots who think meetings are the real work. So they can be in a meeting wherever they are without dragging out the laptop and pretend they’re the ones making money before they have an expensive dinner while they’re making the people who hate meetings work late.

This is my favorite. I ride motorcycles and as a whole the people I’ve met who ride are pretty accepting except for a couple of very old or very young dickheads. But trying to ride that fucker side saddle would get you laughed at by even the most accepting riders.

I have been absolutely sure it was a joke. His shit is so over the top.

Peppa isn’t as bad as shit like Caillou, but Bluey is the best one by a mile.

Can I get in on that?

And the kid. And shot the dog. And likely deported the neighbor.

I’m on mine far more often than I’m in a car. I think Tesla found out that I point and laugh at any cyber trucks I see at red lights while I’m out and is trying to kill me.

There are both groups, and some in-betweeners. I have known several actual white supremacists. They are who they are. They hold “church” and talk about how all this is to keep the white man down.

I’ve known plenty who are casually racist but are more “I just don’t like them” than anything organized. They believe some of it, but they expect things to work out because they’re white so they don’t organize.

I’ve known LOADS of people who are just ignorant. They live in a bubble where all they hear is about how the government is trying to give others a leg up and they’re jealous. Where’s their help? They grew up poor. If someone in their past benefited from slavery or oppression it was squandered. They have friends and family of color and genuinely love them. Some of them are white passing POC. They do tremendous harm out of ignorance and because they were lied to. That’s not an absolution, because they could go find the information, but an indictment of the media bubble that they’re in and some of the others they associate with.

That doesn’t just go for racists. Sexists and LGBTQIA bigots are the same.

Back when I did stuff for the sake of doing it, I mapped DAW transport buttons to these. I never bothered replacing them when they broke because I moved to a jog wheel to scrub through much more efficiently.

I’ve got a friend that, when cornered by acronym soup, starts discussing very detailed analytics for whatever they’re talking about. He says the acronyms don’t matter as long as the audience is sufficiently bored by whatever your answer is.
